On the same day, another bear was found in an indoor baseball training gym at a private high school in Yamagata City, prompting the school to cancel club activities. The Japanese government has suggested that children carry empty plastic bottles to scare away bears, as these animals dislike the sound of them being crushed. This proposal came from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Ministry of the Environment and was directed to school boards across the country, aiming to protect children on their way to and from school. In Iwate Prefecture, bears were also sighted on the grounds of Iwate University in Morioka on two consecutive days, October 28 and 29, leading to the cancellation of lectures. As bear incidents continue across the country, preventive measures implemented in northern Japan regions, such as Hokkaido and Tohoku, are being adopted. The directive issued on October 30 calls for inspecting or adjusting school routes as necessary, establishing a communication system, and including region-specific protocols for handling bear incidents in school crisis management manuals. A copy of the 'Bear Encounter Protocols' guide, created by the Ministry of the Environment in cooperation with officials from Hokkaido, Hanamaki in Iwate Prefecture, and Oga in Akita Prefecture, was attached. With bears appearing on school grounds, education officials have had to deal with the situation. On October 29, a bear was caught on surveillance camera colliding with the entrance of a public elementary school in Nanyo, Yamagata Prefecture. Bears have been seen in various areas, causing numerous human injuries. Among the advice provided were: 'If there is a possibility of encountering bears on school routes, consider having parents accompany, temporarily closing schools, or offering online lessons from home', 'do not carry food while traveling', and 'if you see bear tracks, leave the area'. In addition to some known effective tools like bear bells and bicycles, the idea of using empty plastic bottles was also proposed.
